On March 7, 1935, Tang Jishan followed his girlfriend Ruan Lingyu to the celebration banquet of the movie "New Women".
Ruan Lingyu was wearing a green-bottomed flower-woven tight cheongsam, which burned the charming large waves, and a slightly pink delicate face that set off the dazzling ruby on her earlobes.
It was a token of love sent by Tang Jishan. She usually treasured it in the wooden carved jewelry box at home, but she solemnly wore it out tonight. At the
banquet, Ruan Lingyu became abnormal.
She drank a lot of wine and shook her ego in the dance floor.
Half drunk and half awake, she hugged all the guests present with over-entertainment. Most of them have been with Ruan Lingyu since her debut, and they have been with her directors, producers and actors who are very fond of her.
Before leaving, Ruan Lingyu specially invited Tang Jishan to dance.
She is usually gentle and reserved, suddenly and boldly melts into her lover's arms.
She smiled brilliantly and unrestrainedly.
However, no one would have thought that in four hours, Ruan Lingyu would commit suicide at home.
She sat quietly at the table, finished writing two final letters, and then poured 3 bottles of sleeping porridge into the eight-treasure porridge that her mother had cooked for her.
She was silent for a while, then picked up the bowl and stirred the sleeping pills and eight treasure porridge evenly.
The medicine is bitter when you get into your mouth, but the sweetness of the eight-treasure porridge neutralizes the unswallowing taste. She ate all the porridge in despair, then lay on the bed, quietly waiting for death to come.
The next day is International Labor Women's Day.
Ruan Lingyu's classmate Ruizhen is looking forward to Ruan Lingyu's appointment and baptism for the female students in the school.
, but what was waiting for was the bad news that Ruan Lingyu had died in the hospital.
She couldn't understand why Ruan Lingyu, who had vowed to stand out for the new woman yesterday, became a soul in her deceased overnight?
That year, Ruan Lingyu was only 25 years old, which was the brightest moment in her life.

March 14, 1935 was an uneasy day in Shanghai.
On this day, 12 great celebrities in the history of movies carried Ruan Lingyu's coffin together and walked towards the hearse heading towards the cemetery of Lianyi Villa.
They are Ruan Lingyu's most admired and close partners.
also bid farewell to Ruan Lingyu together, and there are 100,000 residents in Shanghai.
The appearance of Ruan Lingyu has become the emotional pillar of their hearts. She expresses their joys, anger, sorrows and happiness on the screen, and brings hope to their poor life.
Ruan Lingyu left, and together with their spiritual sustenance, she took her away from this world.
There are 5 female fans who even couldn't accept the news of Ruan Lingyu's death. The next day after the funeral, they joined the dead end of suicide and followed Ruan Lingyu and passed away together.
Then, Ruan Lingyu's relatives held a memorial service for her, and former friends rushed to Shanghai from all over the country, hoping to see her for the last time. At the memorial service, they either remained silent, wailed in grief, or cried bitterly.
Director Fei Mu recalled that Ruan Lingyu asked him at a banquet the night before: "Am I considered a good person?"
He did not understand the meaning of the problem at the time and just regarded it as a joke.
Now, when he choked up and gave the answer: "No matter what others say, all your friends believe that you are a good person, and I even think that you are a good person."
, Ruan Lingyu has long missed this important answer.
Director Sun Yu, who works the most with Ruan Lingyu, sat next to Ruan Lingyu's body for a long time.
He tried hard to convince himself that the most precious beauty was no longer alive.
"More than ten days ago, I wanted to ask her to write a few words on the memorial book of an old friend. She said, "I want to have a good meaning. Now, it's too late. Only the word "Sun" embroidered in my hat when she was filming "Gambles"." After
, he gently touched the little word "Sun" on the hat, and could no longer hold it back and cried.
After learning about Ruan Lingyu's death, Mr. Lu Xun was very angry. He wrote a eulogy and published it publicly in newspapers. In the eulogy, in addition to the full load of regret and lament, there is also a strong condemnation of "people's words are terrifying."
Because, at that time, Ruan Lingyu was in a lawsuit, and all her privacy was scrambled by major newspapers and magazines, and even added jealousy and distorted the facts. She was forced to leave.
The most popular "silent film queen" in Shanghai has become a rat crossing the street that everyone shouts and beats.
Everyone believes that it is "human words are fearless" that forced Ruan Lingyu to death.
But is Ruan Lingyu's death really because of "human words are fearful"?
After a long 60 years, Ruan Lingyu's true cause of death was finally made public. After the
message spread, it caused a huge wave.
From then on, the cause of Ruan Lingyu's death was truly known to people.
is covered behind the glitz of "Silent Movie Queen", and it turns out that it is a tragic fate of being humiliated and painful.
lowly
everything, we have to start from the beginning.
On April 26, 1910, Ruan Lingyu was born in a poor family. My father is a worker at the Pudong Asian Oil Stack in Shanghai, while my mother takes care of the young Ruan Lingyu while doing some casual work.
html When he was 06 years old, Ruan Lingyu's father became ill due to overwork, which eventually led to tuberculosis and passed away forever.Picture: Ruan Lingyu, her mother and her adopted daughter
In order to support Ruan Lingyu, her mother could only work as a maid at the wealthy family at that time, and Ruan Lingyu also followed her mother and lived in the wealthy family's home.
Fortunately, my mother was not like most people at that time. She thought that a girl’s life was about getting married. No matter how hard she was, she insisted on letting Ruan Lingyu go to school.
However, because people's thoughts were still very pedantic and their class concepts were very serious, Ruan Lingyu's mother always reminded her not to reveal that she was the maid's daughter, fearing that she would be looked down upon by her classmates.
Ruan Lingyu's inner inferiority seeds have been deeply rooted since then, and as she grows older, it becomes more and more serious.
She has believed since she was a child that she was inferior to others. Even though she later became a popular star, class concepts still restricted her every move.
This inferiority complex has become the foreshadowing of her future miserable fate.
wrong love
15 years old, Ruan Lingyu met her first man in her life.
His name is Zhang Damin , he is the fourth young master of a wealthy family served by Ruan Lingyu's mother.
When Zhang Damin first met Ruan Lingyu, he was fascinated by it.
He had never seen such an amazingly beautiful woman, and from then on, he made up his mind to conquer her.
Zhang Damin received Western education when he was a student and was deeply influenced by the new May Fourth Movement. He had no class concept in his heart, so he never discriminated against his servant's daughter.
Picture: Ruan Lingyu, when she was young, had delicate facial features, and was a classic image of "small jasper" at that time
When I first met, Ruan Lingyu did not dare to accept Zhang Damin's pursuit. Because her inner inferiority complex does not allow her to bear this love that transcends the class.
However, in order to get close to Ruan Lingyu, Zhang Damin, who is romantic, enthusiastic and generous, not only always waits for her at the school gate, but also takes her around to play. Even Ruan Lingyu's mother takes care of her, sometimes giving money and subsidies, and sometimes asking about her well-being.
Ruan Lingyu has never received such care, and her mother is helping her, hoping that she will marry into the Zhang family and change the destiny of the class.
The two got along shortly after, Ruan Lingyu agreed to Zhang Damin's pursuit.

However, this first love that had just been budding was strongly opposed by Zhang Damin's parents.
Because the Zhang family is a very famous wealthy family in Shanghai, and they will never tolerate their future daughter-in-law being a lowly person of low-class background.
Zhang Damin, who wanted wind and rain since childhood, naturally couldn't listen to his parents' advice. He was deeply in love with him. Not only did he not restrain his intimate contact with Ruan Lingyu, he even took Ruan Lingyu and her mother to elope outside and rent a house.
He thought that he was true love with Ruan Lingyu, and even if he wanted to be enemies of the whole world, he would fight to the death to protect him.
. Ruan Lingyu, who snuggled in her lover's arms, even regarded Zhang Damin as her husband. She longed for a family and saw the hope of getting married for the first time.
, what Ruan Lingyu unexpectedly was that this first love would become a nightmare that would haunt her for life.

Shortly after living together, Zhang Damin began to feel tired.
He lived under the protection of his family since he was a child and lived a luxurious life. He either hangs in a dance hall or a casino on weekdays, and never knows what the outside world looks like.
After breaking away from his parents' protection, he finally realized the hardships of raising a family.
Ruan Lingyu has to go to school, and Ruan Lingyu's mother can only do some casual work, and most of the family's expenses rely on the little pocket money secretly given by Zhang Damin's mother every month.
Zhang Damin thought about working, but he bought his education and had no real knowledge at all. In addition, he was polite with the arrogance of a young master, so he could not put his face down and do some low-level work.
Over time, his attitude towards Ruan Lingyu changed from intimacy to indifference, and sometimes even sarcastic, sarcastic about Ruan Lingyu eating and wearing his clothes.
Ruan Lingyu felt depressed, but she wanted to save this difficult family.
So, she dropped out of school and planned to find a job in society and share the responsibility of her family.
At that time, the famous director Bu Wancang happened to be filming a new movie "The Famous Couple".
The original heroine Zhang Zhiyun was Bu Wancang's lover, but during the filming period, tea merchant Tang Jishan interfered in the relationship between the two. In order to catch up with Zhang Zhiyun, he even promised to take her into the United States.
Bu Wancang was frustrated in love and his career was also frustrated. In desperation, he had to openly recruit the heroine.
happened to be known to Zhang Damin's elder brother Zhang Huichong. Zhang Huichong was already a first-line actor at that time and had met Ruan Lingyu several times. He thought she had a chance to audition successfully, so he did a favor and recommended Ruan Lingyu.
On the day of the audition, Bu Wancang was actually very upset.
He has tried dozens of actresses, but either his appearance is not good or his acting is dull, even Zhang Zhiyun's 10% expression cannot achieve.
At this time, Ruan Lingyu appeared.
Bu Wancang was deeply attracted. Although the girl in front of her was not as beautiful as a national beauty, she looked very delicate and had a very beautiful temperament.
During the audition, Ruan Lingyu's every move was full of charm, both charming and pure, making people unable to take their eyes off.
He knew that this was the heroine he had been waiting for for a long time.
Ruan Lingyu, who debuted with "Famous Couples", has since become a cheater.
Many directors were impressed by her beauty and all sent olive branches.
However, Ruan Lingyu is by no means a "vase" with only beauty.
Director Wu Yonggang once said that in his eyes, Ruan Lingyu is "the fastest-sensitive negative". Her emotions are like a faucet, with free switches and almost no buffering required, which makes him amazed.
The movies at that time were still in the silent film era, and actors could not use language to express their content, and their only weapons were expressions and limbs. When she entered the industry, Ruan Lingyu was only 16 years old, but the roles she played were ever-changing.
In "Goddess", when she came into the camera, she was a seductive, arrogant and disdainful prostitute. She was coquettishly attracted guests while enduring the insults of bullies.
When she came back into the camera, she became a kind and gentle mother in front of her children. She lowered her head and was silent, raised her head and smiled. Every move reflected the expressions of a good woman.
In "Gamble", she once again broke through herself and interpreted a mother who lost her daughter in the war, suffered from traumatic sequelae, and gradually became crazy.
She heard the sound of firecrackers on the street, fantasizing as bombardment. Then on the bustling street, she was out of control and shouted "The enemy is coming! Run!" while running back and forth wildly.
The directors, production teams and actors who have worked with Ruan Lingyu are all full of admiration for Ruan Lingyu.
In their eyes, Ruan Lingyu is an ageless actor. She can become any role. No matter what the role experience is, she can express it accurately and feel it.
All Chinese actresses in the 1940s are comparable to Ruan Lingyu.
She was given a soul of a "natural actor" by God.
However, taking off his gorgeous clothes as the "Silent Movie Queen", Ruan Lingyu in reality has always been unable to act well, and her life script belongs to her.
entangled
Not long before Ruan Lingyu debuted, Zhang Damin's father died of illness. While she was still thinking about whether to follow Zhang Damin to the ancestral hall, Zhang Damin took the lead in speaking and told her to participate together.
Ruan Lingyu was ecstatic and thought that Zhang Damin had recognized her wife's status.
However, she suffered great shame on this trip.
Zhang Damin's mother saw Ruan Lingyu following Zhang Damin, and then cursed regardless of the occasion.
"Who do you think you are? Who allows you to appear in this occasion?"
"Our Zhang family does not welcome idle people, please disappear immediately!"
Ruan Lingyu blushed, hoping that Zhang Damin could say a few words for her. Unexpectedly, he just hid aside and didn't dare to say a word. After leaving
, Zhang Damin began to propose to Ruan Lingyu constantly. Ruan Lingyu was puzzled. Later, she realized that it was all about fighting for family property.
Ruan Lingyu was disappointed and refused to agree if she died.
After Zhang Damin passed away, he finally got all his property worth more than 100,000 yuan, and he never mentioned marriage again.
After getting money, Zhang Damin became even more gambled crazier, stayed out all day long, and almost never went home.
result, in just a few months, he counted all the money and returned to Ruan Lingyu in poverty.
Ruan Lingyu has become better and better in her career. She not only has to bear the expenses of her family, but also has to squander Zhang Damin. The pressure is unimaginable.
Ruan Lingyu’s feelings for Zhang Damin are very complicated.
On the one hand, she loves this man very much because it is her first love and because of Zhang Damin's dedication to her and her mother.
So, she indulged Zhang Damin to gamble and even allowed him to linger in the dance hall and hang out with the dancer.
She knew that Zhang Damin was a person who yearned for freedom.
So, in order to keep Zhang Damin, she no longer proposed to get married, and even adopted a girl named Xiaoyu.
A family with parents, couples and children is formed, however, everything is incorrect and untrue.
On the other hand, after she became famous, she felt a little disgusted with Zhang Damin, who was unwilling to make progress.
She went from a little woman who relied on Zhang Damin to a big woman who was relied on by Zhang Damin. She had no choice but to be full of accomplishment.
Because, she is finally no longer a low-class person who is trampled on the soles of others, and can even play the leading role in front of Zhang Damin, who was once a top-class person.
She loves to buy gifts for Zhang Damin, and she also responds to Zhang Damin's request. The ultimate goal is to fill her inner inferiority.
Ruan Lingyu was bound by her inner inferiority and became Zhang Damin's money tree.
She naively thought that as long as Zhang Damin’s needs were met, she would one day wait until he matured and share the family responsibilities with her.
However, her bottomless line only brought Zhang Damin's gains.
Fantasy love
At this time, Ruan Lingyu met her second man.
This man was mentioned earlier, and he stole director Bu Wancang and was a tea merchant with Zhang Zhiyun, who was a lover, Tang Jishan.
Tang Jishan is a super rich man. He not only has a huge tea career, but also a major shareholder of Lianhua Film, where Ruan Lingyu is located.
When I was still with Zhang Zhiyun, Tang Jishan fell in love with Ruan Lingyu at a party.
After that party, Tang Jishan began to pursue Ruan Lingyu fiercely.
He found someone to find Ruan Lingyu's background and knew that she was born in poverty and lost her father since she was a child. Not only did she have to bear the family's finances, but she also had a useless cohabitation lover. What a woman like
most lacks is love.
grasped Ruan Lingyu's weakness, and Tang Jishan prescribed the right medicine. Not only did she care about her well-being on weekdays, but she also traveled thousands of miles from Shanghai to Hangzhou to take care of Ruan Lingyu who was filming and the crew team at that time.
At that time, the relationship between Ruan Lingyu and Zhang Damin had already become distorted. She was more like Zhang Damin's mother than her lover.
Ruan Lingyu, who was squeezed by Zhang Damin, was very eager for someone to give her comfort, and the mature, steady and knowledgeable Tang Jishan happened to appear and became her only support.
She fell, even though she knew that Tang Jishan had a wife, she was still a romantic figure.
However, Tang Jishan promised her affectionately that she would cut off her love roots and would also make it clear to her wife in her hometown.
Ruan Lingyu, who lacks love, once again threw herself into the arms of another man.
Tang Jishan knows very well that to completely conquer Ruan Lingyu, we must start from the "home".
He bought a 3-story villa and brought Ruan Lingyu, Ruan Lingyu's mother and adopted daughter Xiaoyu to his home together.
This small villa, in the eyes of the time, was a veritable "golden house". In addition to being expensive, Tang Jishan also spent a lot of effort on decoration.
The first floor is a gorgeous living room, the second floor is Ruan Lingyu and Tang Jishan's studio, plus the two's bedrooms, forming a complete comfortable space, and the third floor is Ruan Lingyu's mother and adopted daughter Xiaoyu, and there is also a small living room. There is a parking garage in front of the house and a simple courtyard. At the back is a small garden carefully prepared by Tang Jishan for Ruan Lingyu's mother who loves to grow flowers and vegetables.
Tang Jishan was extremely obsessed with Ruan Lingyu at that time. Apart from marriage, she gave almost everything she could.
In front of Ruan Lingyu, he intimately called Ruan Lingyu's mother "mom", and even picked up Xiaoyu and said he wanted to hold a family meeting, as if they were really a family.
, but the marriage that Ruan Lingyu wanted in her heart was delayed in fulfilling.
It is impossible for Tang Jishan to divorce.
His wife is far away in Guangdong, a powerful and wealthy daughter. The fact that he can have today's career depends on his wife's support.
No matter how romantic he is outside, he will never give up his family, whether it is for kindness or profit.
Picture: Legend Paiwen
In fact, when Zhang Zhiyun learned that Ruan Lingyu was with Tang Jishan, she wrote a letter to warn her.
"My Zhang Zhiyun's today is actually your Ruan Lingyu's tomorrow."
, Ruan Lingyu, who is deeply in love and longing for a family, never listened to her words, thinking that this is the jealousy of the old people towards the new people.
Ruan Lingyu holds a beautiful wish and looks forward to Tang Jishan marrying her into the house as soon as possible.
However, this man who made her rely on him safely eventually became an accomplice who pushed her towards suicide.
Rogue
At this time, Zhang Damin, who was free and happy in Fujian, received a letter of breakup from Ruan Lingyu.
He hurried back to Shanghai, but what he saw was the empty house. After
, Zhang Damin was furious when he learned that Ruan Lingyu and Tang Jishan lived together.
He ran to Ruan Lingyu's new home and tried to save the relationship.
However, Ruan Lingyu refused.
Losing Ruan Lingyu's support, Zhang Damin couldn't quit gambling, so he had more and more debts and his life was getting worse and worse.
Faced with a failed life, Zhang Damin attributed all the reasons to Ruan Lingyu's "start and ending abandonment" of him.
He decided that since he could not recover his feelings, he would hit Ruan Lingyu hard.
He knew that as a top-notch person, Ruan Lingyu was most afraid of being known to the outside world that she was once poor. Using this as a threat, he negotiated with Ruan Lingyu and asked her to pay 300 yuan a month to "release cohabitation fee" for one year.
At that time, Ruan Lingyu's monthly salary was only 1,000 yuan, and 300 yuan was a huge sum of money for her.
Ruan Lingyu was very embarrassed about this, but this was great news for Tang Jishan.
seeking money means being ruthless, which means that he can buy out Zhang Damin's entanglement and get Ruan Lingyu completely.
So, he said to Ruan Lingyu very considerately: "I am responsible for this money. You are my woman, this is what you deserve."
Tang Jishan is very active in finding a lawyer, and the three of them made an appointment to negotiate in the law firm.
Finally, under the witness of the lawyer, the "Deal of Leaving a Cohabitation Relations" was signed, which agreed that the two parties would break away from a cohabitation relationship. Ruan Lingyu gave Zhang Damin a monthly allowance of 100 yuan for a period of 2 years.
This agreement has an important treaty, which is that "neither parties will publish the contents of this agreement on the newspaper."
In other words, Zhang Damin has no right to use this matter as a threat to Ruan Lingyu.
Ruan Lingyu then calmed down and thought that the matter had finally come to an end.
Later, Zhang Damin came to his house many times, using the excuse of doing business, and cried in front of Ruan Lingyu, begging hard, hoping to give him another sum of money.
Although Ruan Lingyu was extremely tired of Zhang Damin, she still felt soft-hearted when she saw his pitiful appearance and gave him more than 2,000 yuan in funding.
Who knew that Zhang Damin did not take the money to do business at all, but invested all of them in gambling, and ended up gambled all the money.
Ruan Lingyu has always had affection for Zhang Damin, but this affection has been repeatedly used by Zhang Damin.
This utilization eventually became the fuse for Ruan Lingyu's suicide.
Two men compete for
Although Zhang Damin occasionally asks Ruan Lingyu for money, Ruan Lingyu thought that after 2 years, she will be truly relieved.
Who knew that what was greeted was a greater disaster.
Zhang Damin originally served as the tax director in Qingshui County, Fujian Province. The salary of this job plus Ruan Lingyu's monthly allowance makes his life quite interesting.
But then, the local situation changed significantly.
Zhang Damin was forced to return to Shanghai to hide. After the situation stabilized, he found that his position had been withdrawn.
From then on, Zhang Damin's income was only 100 yuan given by Ruan Lingyu every month.
By the end of 1934, Ruan Lingyu's subsidy expired and ended with 5 months left. Zhang Damin, who was about to lose his source of income, was very anxious. He decided that he had to find another reason to continue asking for money from Ruan Lingyu.
At this time, there is only more than a year left before Ruan Lingyu's death.
Ruan Lingyu was facing a lawsuit that was sure to win before she died. The initiator of the lawsuit
is Zhang Damin.
It turned out that Zhang Damin, who was anxious to jump over the wall, actually thought of taking Ruan Lingyu to court with the crime of "theft".
He sent his cousin to negotiate with Ruan Lingyu and Tang Jishan, saying that when Ruan Lingyu moved out of his former residence where he lived with Zhang Damin, Zhang Damin was not in Shanghai, but Ruan Lingyu sold all the items in the house without Zhang Damin's consent.
Zhang Damin seized the flaw of "he is not here" and accused Ruan Lingyu of invading his property.
In fact, Zhang Damin didn't leave anything valuable in the house at the beginning, and even the clothes were bought by Ruan Lingyu for him.
However, all the things have been sold, which means there is no evidence to die. Faced with Zhang Damin's accusation, Ruan Lingyu had no choice.
Zhang Damin once again captured Ruan Lingyu's mentality of "no family scandals are made public", and tried to use this to threaten Ruan Lingyu to continue giving money and provide him with food, drink and fun.
Ruan Lingyu originally wanted to calm down, but Tang Jishan was furious and did not want to be controlled by Zhang Damin anymore.
He ignored Ruan Lingyu's opposition and instead brought Zhang Damin to court on the grounds of "fake facts and hindering reputation".
Tang Jishan knew that this lawsuit would inevitably lose because there was insufficient evidence.
But, he has two purposes for doing this.
1 is to warn Zhang Damin and show that he is not easy to mess with;
2 is to dissatisfied with Ruan Lingyu and Zhang Damin, and wanted to use this to make the two turn against each other, and the relationship completely collapsed.
Who knew that this accusation completely burned Zhang Damin's inner anger.
After leaving the court, Zhang Damin did two things.
First, contact major newspapers and magazines immediately to expose all Ruan Lingyu's past private life;
second, filed two charges against Ruan Lingyu. In addition to the original possession of private property in the Criminal Junior Court, Ruan Lingyu and Tang Jishan were charged with the crime of obstructing the family in the local criminal court.
Zhang Damin knew very well that the charges imposed on Ruan Lingyu were all invalid, but his purpose was to use public opinion to retaliate against Ruan Lingyu's ruthlessness and Tang Jishan's mockery.
At that time, Ruan Lingyu became the headline of almost every newspaper, and many newspapers and magazines even added jealousy and fabricated a lot of false content. In the report
, Ruan Lingyu was associated with unsightly words such as "cohabitation love", "post bond", and "unkind love", which caused public debate and heated discussion, and became the biggest topic of conversation after dinner.
No one would have thought that Ruan Lingyu, who is glamorous, elegant and noble, and is even regarded as the "new model of women", was actually born in poverty and humbleness, entangled with many men, and her private life was chaotic.
Picture: Family affairs
Ruan Lingyu's life has completely collapsed.
Since becoming famous, she has always dreamed of scenes where everyone pointed fingers at her life for many years. No matter how she struggled, begged, or even forced herself to death, she could not get rid of others' criticism.
Now, nightmare has become a reality.
Outside, Ruan Lingyu has become a representative of the unfair customs.
When people see her, they no longer praise and envy, but look at her with disgust and even say all the unpleasant words in front of her. Including
, Ruan Lingyu suffered even more violent treatment from Tang Jishan.
Tang Jishan's overwhelming reports discredited his reputation, so he vented all his anger on Ruan Lingyu.
Starting, he mocked Ruan Lingyu all day long, stimulating every nerve of Ruan Lingyu with the most harsh words. After
, he even hit Ruan Lingyu, and developed to the future. Even in front of Ruan Lingyu's mother and adopted daughter, he punched and kicked Ruan Lingyu.
Ruan Lingyu couldn't believe it. Tang Jishan, who once loved and loved her, became a bloodless demon.
Zhang Damin's step-by-step pressing, Tang Jishan's violent opposition, and outside fingers hit Ruan Lingyu's already exhausted heart one after another.
Ruan Lingyu doesn’t care about winning or losing the lawsuit at all. What she cares about is her image of working hard for many years.
However, in the battle between Zhang Damin and Tang Jishan, she, who is at the center of public opinion, became the biggest victim.
Her life was gradually destroyed by two men she once loved deeply, and there was no chance of repair.
As the date of the case approaches, Ruan Lingyu's inner anxiety gradually turns into hopelessness.
Finally, she committed suicide by taking 3 bottles of sleeping pills in the early morning of March 8, 1935.
Two days later, March 9th, is the day when the case begins.
Real and false suicide note
The reason why Ruan Lingyu committed suicide touched everyone's hearts.
Because, the last person to see her was Tang Jishan who sent her to the hospital.
Therefore, the public has repeatedly put pressure on Tang Jishan to make an explanation for Ruan Lingyu's death.
Tang Jishan initially closed herself at home and refused to meet with her on the grounds of excessive sadness.
A few days later, he finally appeared and made Ruan Lingyu’s two suicide notes public.
Ruan Lingyu's first suicide note was "Letter to the Society". The contents in
are divided into two parts.
First, it accused Zhang Damin of unreasonable entanglement with her, and also warned Zhang Damin not to falsely accuse Tang Jishan after her death;
second, it accused the overwhelming reports of the outside world, and moved all the non-existent charges on her, causing her to collapse in her mental state.
suicide note at the end, I wrote it twice in a row, which made people feel sad and angry.
Picture: Sina Blog
And the second suicide note is the "Letter of Family" written to Tang Jishan.
First, it expressed gratitude, reluctance and guilt towards Tang Jishan;
second, it instructed Tang Jishan to continue to take care of her mother and adopted daughter.
in the text, we can see Ruan Lingyu's nostalgia for her relatives and her deep feelings for Tang Jishan.
Picture: After the two suicide notes of Sina Blog
were made public, Zhang Damin became a rat crossing the street, and his once arrogant and domineering accusations also became the capital for him to be scolded by society.
, and Tang Jishan became the only person in this melee who could have a full desire.
People forget his married and romantic past, praise his unyielding love for Ruan Lingyu, and even beautify their love into the best true love in the world.
Picture: Shen Si Baidu Picture
However, she had experienced being violently treated by Tang Jishan during her lifetime, and even acted violently, regardless of Ruan Lingyu's reputation, and pushed her future to death. Could it be that her heart really had no hatred for Tang Jishan at all? The mystery of
was not finally revealed until 60 years later.
Shen Ji, a historian who has studied Ruan Lingyu for many years, made Ruan Lingyu's true suicide note public 60 years after Ruan Lingyu's death.
It turns out that Ruan Lingyu's suicide note did not have the so-called "Letter to the Society" at all, nor did she show that she died because "people's words are fearful."
She only wrote two suicide notes, giving her the most critical men in her life. The first post of
is for Zhang Damin.
Firstly, it shows that her death is directly related to Zhang Damin's persecution;
Secondly, it means regret that she should not be a competition between Zhang Damin and Tang Jishan.
Picture: Sina blog
And the second letter is for Tang Jishan.
1 shows that her death was because of Tang Jishan's two fists and kicks against her;
2 shows that Tang Jishan's empathy made her completely discouraged.
Picture: Sina Blog
And in this suicide note, Ruan Lingyu wrote a sigh-worthy sentence: "The past Zhiyun, today, who will be tomorrow? I think you know it yourself."
So, the last glimmer of hope in Ruan Lingyu's life is for Tang Jishan and his new lover to be severely extinguished.
Truth
In fact, these two suicide notes were published in the Journal of Siming Business School shortly after the false suicide notes were published.
However, because this newspaper was too niche, it was not discovered at that time.
The provider of the two suicide notes was Ruan Lingyu mentioned in the second suicide notes "Tang Jishan's new lover".
Picture: Three sisters of the Liang family, on the right side of the first row is Liang Saizhen
It turns out that Tang Jishan still did not change her romantic character shortly after being with Ruan Lingyu. At a party, she met another female star, Liang Saizhen.
Liang Saizhen and Ruan Lingyu's family lived next door at that time. Tang Jishan often lingers at Liang Saizhen's house, so Ruan Lingyu discovered their relationship.
Moreover, although Tang Jishan is romantic, she has many controls on Ruan Lingyu and often does not allow her to go out. Even if she connects dramas and events, Tang Jishan must approve it.
Once, Ruan Lingyu came home late after filming. Tang Jishan actually locked the door and refused to let her in, which made her cry at the door and attracted the attention of passers-by.
Tang Jishan's crazy control and the double betrayal of friends and lovers made Ruan Lingyu's scarred heart suffer a heavy blow that she could no longer bear.
In the end, she was completely disappointed and thought of death.
On the night of suicide, about 2 hours after Ruan Lingyu took sleeping pills, Tang Jishan discovered something was wrong with her.
He then carried Ruan Lingyu into the car and rushed to the hospital for rescue.
But because he was afraid of external remarks and worried that his reputation would be damaged again, he initially chose to go far and went to Fumin Hospital, which was far away from home, because the hospital promised to keep the patient's situation confidential.
However, when I went to Fumin Hospital, Tang Jishan found that there was no doctor on duty.
So, he drove again, this time he went to a clinic run by a friend.
Who knew that after going to the clinic, my friend saw that Ruan Lingyu was in a serious condition and did not dare to take the patient. He kept persuading Tang Jishan to take him to a large hospital.
At this time, Tang Jishan sent Ruan Lingyu to a reliable Chinese and Western sanitation hospital.
However, it has been 6 hours since Ruan Lingyu took the medicine. She has already entered the bone marrow and is unable to make up for the truth.
At 18:38 on March 8, 1935, the hospital announced that Ruan Lingyu's rescue was ineffective and she completely passed away.
After Ruan Lingyu's death, Tang Jishan found two suicide notes at home.
He saw that there was something condemning him in the suicide note, so he hurried to Liang Saizhen's house next door to explain his purpose, and asked Liang Saizhen and his sister Liang Saishan to imitate Ruan Lingyu's handwriting and rewrite the suicide note.
The two sisters had no time to think, and under the coercion and temptation, they could only do what they wanted.
After Tang Jishan got the fake suicide note, she quickly handed it over to reporters from major newspapers and magazines to seize the opportunity and announce the cause of Ruan Lingyu's death.
However, Liang Saizhen and Liang Saishan recognized his ruthlessness in Tang Jishan's actions of tampering with his suicide note.
Perhaps out of guilt, Liang Saizhen disappeared from the true suicide note and handed it over to the Journal of Siming Business.
She hopes that one day someone will discover Ruan Lingyu's tragic fate and Tang Jishan's true face.
However, the truth is 60 years late.
Today, people mention the death of "Ruan Lingyu", and still tie her to "people's words are fearful".
Her pain and misery are still little known.
cowardly
After Ruan Lingyu died, the last important man in her life also surfaced.
The two's close friends once said that if they could go with him, Ruan Lingyu's dazzling life would not have died so early.
This man is the director of the last movie "New Women" released by Ruan Lingyu during her lifetime, Cai Chusheng.
The two had heard of each other long before they collaborated.
Cai Chusheng has a lot of opinions on movies and is very righteous. He has made his mark in the industry with "Fisherman's Song".
So, when he received the cooperation invitation from Cai Chusheng, Ruan Lingyu was very excited.
Ruan Lingyu is closer to a goddess-like existence to Cai Chusheng.
From the bottom of his heart, he believed that Ruan Lingyu was the best actor in China at that time.
At that time, Ruan Lingyu, who was emotionally tortured, was already tired of the entangled life with Zhang Damin and Tang Jishan.
came out to shoot "New Women", which became her only chance to breathe.
And what makes her feel happy is the time she spends with Cai Chusheng.
They talk about movies, dreams, current situations and each other's outlook on life, as if all the troubles in the outside world had nothing to do with them.
Ambiguous feelings grow quietly between words and conversations.
"New Women" is based on the " Aixia suicide incident" that caused a sensation in the whole society at that time. Aixia and Ruan Lingyu are of the same age and have very similar experiences.
When filming the scene of "Ai Xia's death", Ruan Lingyu was still unable to escape from her sadness after Cai Chusheng shouted "card". She curled herself into the quilt and cried bitterly.
Cai Chusheng had insight into the pain in Ruan Lingyu's heart. He didn't say anything, but just sat next to Ruan Lingyu's bed, shed tears, and accompanied her silently.
Before Ruan Lingyu died, she had contacted Cai Chusheng to express her emotions.
She hopes that Cai Chusheng can take her to Hong Kong to avoid the troubles of Shanghai, and hopes to marry Cai Chusheng and be together forever.
However, Cai Chusheng did not have the courage to respond to Ruan Lingyu's affection.
He has a wife who "the orders of parents and matchmakers" in his hometown, and has another lover living together in Shanghai. In addition to Ruan Lingyu's situation at that time, he could not bear the infamy of destroying his life for the sake of love.
At the memorial service, Cai Chusheng was deeply saddened and even ignored his image and knelt down heavily in front of Ruan Lingyu's body.
He cried hard, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it all turned into tears.
Finally, he asked the two's mutual close friend, director Wu Yonggang, to cut a pinch of Ruan Lingyu's hair and let him take it back.
Maybe, in the midnight dream, guilt and regret will always linger on him.
And his bond with Ruan Lingyu can only rely on the last lonely hair to connect the barriers of yin and yang, and then express each other's love and longing.
Binding
Ruan Lingyu is gone.
At the most beautiful 25 years old, cruelly put an incomplete end to his life.
People remember her face, regret her talent, and mourn her departure, but Ruan Lingyu's inner world has always been ignored.
was born in an era of pedantic thoughts. She felt inferior for her humble birth since she was a child. When encountering problems with
, Ruan Lingyu always pointed her finger at herself, thinking that everything is not good enough.
She cannot get rid of the society where people are divided equally, and can only rely on patience to repeatedly conceal her past.
However, Ruan Lingyu's heart is very eager to resist.
Most of the roles she played in the early stage were the heroines in the tragedy.
In the later stage, she began to ask the directors many times to give her the opportunity to play the new woman.
In this regard, Ruan Lingyu once revealed to Cai Chusheng that her truest thoughts were in her heart.
"How much I want to be such a new woman, a new woman who can get rid of her own destiny, but unfortunately I am too weak."
Although Ruan Lingyu's heart was eager to break through the shackles of her inherent thinking.
But after many struggles, she never gave herself a chance to make a thorough struggle for her life.
She chose the weakest method.
only left a short suicide note, accusing her of pain, and then left her elderly mother and her young adopted daughter, leaving a world that she could not face.
